What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops").
Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

![Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties.
Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours before agents finally let him go.
“I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up,” Jones said. “I asked if they had a warrant, and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreib66z6racbfo5llgukbvmldxq44zaa7nqetkcs5cwxfez6xcec5oy@jpeg)

UPDATE: Senate Republicans made Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill even worse.
Now, this bill rips health care coverage away from 17 MILLION people—that’s an additional 1 MILLION people.
Health care cuts now total over $1 TRILLION.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van?

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing.
Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle.
Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

This! the key word is even in all caps. ACTIVELY. You cannot do nothing and then get mad. You have to talk to people.
You have to reach out.
It may even take time, but it is so worth it.

I *get* why it’s harder for men to build relationships with other men but if you want a village you can rely on, you have to ACTIVELY seek out like minded individuals who CARE about their mental health and yours and CULTIVATE meaning and lasting friendships. They don’t fall out the damn sky.
